New Zealand's oldest female boxer riding high after winning in Australia

From Nights, 9:15 pm on 18 July 2024

Reefton's own Lisa Ryan is officially New Zealand's oldest female boxer, at the ripe age of 55.

The catch is that she can't actually box competitively here in New Zealand, due to the cut-off age being 50.

Last month Lisa had a knockout win at the Ageless Warriors amateur tournament in Australia and now she's gearing up for her next event, the Pan Pacific Masters Games.

She joins Todd Zaner.
